| Research Abstract |
We developed teaching materials which illustrate the ingeniousmechanisms of heat control common to both plants and animals. Thermal images of leaftranspiration and human skin perspiration were taken using a thermographic camera in orderto illustrate the cooling effect. In addition, I developed teaching materials on CO2 andsugar to illustrate the energy production mechanisms common to both plants and animalsfor a realistic understanding of them. I created experimental systems which show commonlife activities which go beyond the framework of plants and animals.
